-------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments:
(1) IMO we should reject a read command with ANY like we do with ZERO to make
clear to users the difference between ANY and ONE (vis: a write with ANY may
not be readable until later), this is a source of much confusion (most people
seem to assume that the existing ONE behaves like ANY)
(2) ANY should be added at the end of the enum to avoid breaking older clients
unnecessarily
(3) Can we move the hint_ack tracking into the coordinator code instead of
modifying RM and RMVH? We already have endpointMap that tells us which writes
are hinted, seems like we shouldn't need the reply to specify that redundantly.

> Key: CASSANDRA-687
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-687
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Gary Dusbabek
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.6

> Attachments: 0001-thrift-changes.patch,

>
> after CASSANDRA-685, control nodes will throw data away and raise a
> TimeoutException to backpressure clients that are overwhelming the cluster.
> This means we need a ConsistencyLevel "between" ZERO and ONE, meaning that
> Cassandra will block until the data is written *somewhere*, possibly to a HH
> target. (and really we needed this already, judging from people dissatisfied
> with the existing options)
